This replaces the previously directly bound #clone
methods, which weren't really the "the Ruby way".
Rubys default Object#clone will call into our #init_copy
methods instead.
Partly incorporates pull request #3 by /cremno.
Previously, wrapped instances of mkxp core classes were
stored as RData ivars inside the actual object. This turned
out to be pointless as RData objects themselves are perfectly
valid objects that can carry ivars and have parent classes.
Therefore, the RData objects are now exposed directly to
the user scripts, effectively halving the amount of object
allocations.
We now actively track how far behind / in front of an
ideal timestep we are during each frame, and try to
catch up / delay approximate this timing.
Therefore we use more precise timers and sleep functions
(nanosleep if available). We also delay **before** the
final buffer swap so the frame displays at more consistent
points in time.
Not only should this provide a somewhat more consistent
looking map scrolling at lower frame rates, it also
guarantees that we don't fall out of sync eg. with the
Audio during longer cutscenes.
'Graphics.frameReset()' now finally has a function, in
that it resets the ideal timestep approximation, which I
beliefe was also its job in the original RMXP engine.
I'm not sure how well this will work when the frame rate
is set to the monitor refresh rate and vsync is turned on.
Very likely unnecessary frame skips will occur here and there
due to imprecise timers. In the future we should probably
check if the frame rate is equal to or higher than the
monitor rate, and disable frame skip accordingly.
These changes currently break the F2 FPS display (it shows
a value that's slightly too high).
Releasing a Tilemap atlas into the pool on every map switch
will blow out tons of smaller textures for very little gain,
as atlas textures are already pretty much impossible to
recycle anywhere but in new Tilemaps.
We override 'Marshal::load()' via alias and call it with
a custom auxiliary proc in the alias which sets the encoding
of all demarshalled strings to UTF-8. The case where a user
himself provided a proc to 'load()' is not implemented.
This is definitely a better solution than patching the ruby
source tree. Thanks to github.com/cremno for hints and help!
This reverts commit 34d4103111.
Turns out we need at least GLSL 1.50, for which we'd
have to throw our OpenGL 2.0 compatibility in the water.
Nope, not yet.
Using "SDL2/SDL_xxx.h" instead of "SDL_xxx.h" caused
the include paths provided by pkg-config to be ignored,
and headers from a standard include path to be used instead.
If consecutive scanrows in the scene list have no foreign
elements in between them, we batch them up and draw them
in one glDrawElements() call.
This should reduce the Tilemap induced draw calls on
average by at least 50 percent.
